Located within the Trans Amadi industrial layout in Rivers State, Port Harcourt Zoo has been ranked among the major tourist attractions in the city and is considered one of Nigeria's leading conservation centers.[3] The Port Harcourt International Airport is approximately 14 miles (22.5 km) northwest of the park.[4]
